Bloodgood

Along with
Barren Cross,
Bloodgood was one of the few Christian bands of
the mid-eighties attempting to expand on the
popularity of Stryper, and like Barren Cross
they (at least initially) aimed for a more
metallic market.
Their first two albums, the 1985 self-titled
debut and the 1987 followup Detonation, are their
most well-known albums as well as their heaviest,
as the style shifted to a more accessible hard
rock sound on their latest releases.
They carved a decently successful career for the
next several years, though they didn't quite seem to
be able to capitalize on their early success.
They disbanded in 1994, and reformed briefly in 2002.
Finally, in early 2006, another reunion came about, this time
featuring former
Stryper
guitarist Oz Fox.
